Do Christian's not understand "Burden of Proof"?

So, I've debated a lot of christians and religious people. It's been a good ride so far, some had interesting dialogue, but most of them were just angered debates. Though, on all of them, I realized a lot of the people didn't understand the concept of "Burden of Proof". Its to the point where its getting quite repetitive for something that would be at the basis of their claim.

It's essential when somebody makes a claim, to have the evidence to back it up. But, when Christian's(Mind you, I reference Christianity specifically for the reason its the most common religion in my country, almost all religions are usually included in this as well). They make a claim, they need the evidence. But, usually they just provide faith to it and call it a day. Or the one I get is "He exists, and thats that." With no evidence or even rebuttal at all. The amount of fallacy's when debating a religious person or zealot is absurd.

Anybody have some experiences like this? Please do share.
Thank you, have a nice day.
